I forgot on one of my machines for over a week now, every time I start a dispvm it has a yellow triangle for not allrequested memory being returned. I shut down the vm and triangle goes away, start it and it comes back. Deleting the dvm and recreating it is not fixing this, nor is rebooting. Even if its the only vm I load. Only recent anomaly. no idea what log to look at, makes me uncomfortable using it on that machine. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
